For the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at SISHK, in addition to fulfilling the core components (TOK, EE and CAS), all students will study the following subjects (one from each):

Group 1 : Language and Literature

There are some exceptions to the above rule:

If a student chooses two subjects from Group 1, they can omit a subject in Group 2. In this case, they will qualify for the IB Bilingual Diploma if they do well in these subjects.

A student can choose to replace a subject in Group 6 with a choice from either Group 3 or 4.

A student must at least offer Chinese B HL or higher if he/she has achieved a high level of proficiency in Chinese language education at the IGCSE examinations. In this case, he/she can choose to offer Chinese B HL as the fourth HL subject.
